Mr. Blackburn representing Huel Weaver (Weaver Construction) was the next
to speak. His first statement was that they were in support of the
workshop. He outlined some of the people involved with this proposed
development which included: Nathan Maier, who would be addressing
the FEMA issues and a Mr. Rogers, who is currently with the
Mesquite and has had many years of experience with landfill~d
o~ns.
Mr. Blackburn explained that they desired to be good neighbors and
have had contact with Mr. William Cothran of the Dallas Gun Club.
He also explained details such as that at an estimated collection
rate of 200 tons of solid waste per day, that the site would be filled
in 25 years and that Texas Industries had interests in excavating
the sand and gravel from the site also.
The meeting was then opened for comments for or against. Mr. William
Cothran of the Dallas Gun Club stepped forward. He wanted the P &
Z to postpone any decision at this time. He had heard of the
possibility of a workshop and has requested a meeting with Mr. Weaver
which has been schuduled for next Tuesday at 9:00 a.m.. Mr. Cothran
representing the Dallas Gun Club was not making a stand for or against,
but had some concerns. He would prefer the zoning to be a P.D. instead
of L.I., he had concerns over the access which would be either through
the Club property or the utility R.O.W., and concerns directly
associated with the landfill operation such as size, volume, finished
elevation, phasing, and screening (fences).

was the next to speak. He represented their mining interests and
also requested the postponement.
The Commissioners were then asked if they had any questions. One

would be able to obtain the required permits to operate a landfill.
He stated a time period of approximately one year.
